How does someone access these reports? From a broker? Direct from the analyst? From a consolidator? Are these research reports regulated? Are they released to everyone at the same time? If a random report can move the stock 20% and certain people have a access to it before others, I can see a lot of abuse potential there. However, that must be the raison d'être of these reports. I still could not figure out the mechanism of publishing and accessing these reports.

Also I wonder what ratio of people trading a stock after a report are investors investing because of the information in the report vs traders because of the sentiment in the report.

The meat of what is in that report, namely the strong signals they are seeing in two subgroups, was previously publicly disclosed by management during CCs (#msg-75312855 and #msg-75186712 ). This is why, IMHO, it can pay to listen closely to CCs.
